Recently, $$^{177}$$Lu is considered as one of the most important medical RIs for treating neuroendocrine tumors. A plan to produce $$^{177}$$Lu with high purity by using enriched $$^{176}$$Yb samples with irradiation of deuteron beams in accelerators has been discussed. However, since the other Yb isotopes contained in the Yb sample interacts with deuterons, Lu isotopes other than $$^{177}$$Lu are produced as impurities. Since the purity of $$^{177}$$Lu is important for medical use, a method to evaluate the impurity of Lu has been required. In this study, we proposed a new method to estimate production yields of each Lu isotopes in Yb samples with arbitrary isotopic compositions by using excitation functions of Yb($$d,x$$)Lu reactions and the particle transport calculation code PHITS. The method plays an important role in discussing the isotopic composition of enriched samples to produce high-purity $$^{177}$$Lu using accelerators.

Both $$^{64}$$Cu and $$^{67}$$Cu are promising radionuclides in nuclear medicine. Production yields of these radionuclides were quantified by irradiating 55.4 g of natural zinc with accelerator neutrons. Clinically suitable $$^{64}$$Cu and $$^{67}$$Cu yields were estimated by experimental based numerical simulations using 100 g of enriched $$^{64}$$Zn and $$^{68}$$Zn, respectively, and elevated neutron fluxes from 40 MeV, 2 mA deuterons. A combined thermal- and resin-separation method was developed to isolate $$^{64}$$Cu and $$^{67}$$Cu from zinc, resulting in 73% separation efficiency and 97% zinc recovery. Such methods can provide large scale production of $$^{64}$$Cu and $$^{67}$$Cu for clinical applications.

We found anomalously large yields of $$^{67}$$Ga, $$^{66}$$Ga, $$^{rm 69m}$$Zn and $$^{64}$$Cu by neutron irradiation on a $$^{68}$$ZnO sample in a polyethylene shield. Neutron beams are generated from the $$^{9}$$Be($$d,n$$) reaction for 50 MeV deuterons. The yields obtained were more than 20 times larger than those in the unshielded sample. On the other hand, the yields of $$^{67}$$Ga, $$^{66}$$Ga, $$^{rm 69m}$$Zn and $$^{64}$$Cu from a metallic $$^{68}$$Zn sample and the yields of $$^{67}$$Cu, $$^{65}$$Ni and $$^{65}$$Zn from the $$^{68}$$ZnO and $$^{68}$$Zn samples were almost insensitive to the shield conditions. This finding would provide us a unique capability of accelerator neutrons to simultaneously produce a large amount of several radioisotopes, including proton induced reaction products, by using a single sample. The experimental data were compared with the yields estimated by using the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System and the result was discussed.

Imaging of $$^{95m}$$Tc radioisotope was conducted using an electron tracking-Compton camera (ETCC). $$^{95m}$$Tc emits 204, 582, and 835 keV $$gamma$$ rays, and was produced in the $$^{95}$$Mo(p,n)$$^{95m}$$Tc reaction with a $$^{95}$$Mo-enriched target. The recycling of the $$^{95}$$Mo-enriched molybdenum trioxide was investigated, and the recycled yield of $$^{95}$$Mo was achieved to be 70% - 90%. The images were obtained with each of the three $$gamma$$ rays. Results showed that the spatial resolution increases with increasing $$gamma$$-ray energy, and suggested that the ETCC with high-energy $$gamma$$-ray emitters such as $$^{95m}$$Tc is useful for the medical imaging of deep tissue and organs in the human body.

Production cross sections of iodine, tellurium and antimony radionuclides in the 24-59 MeV $$^{7}$$Li + $$^{nat}$$Sn reaction have been measured by the conventional stacked foil technique with $$gamma$$-ray spectrometry. Excitation functions of the production cross sections were compared with a statistical model calculation. The contributions of complete and incomplete fusion in the production of observed radionuclides are discussed from the view points of production routes in the nuclide chart and decays for iodine, tellurium and antimony nuclides. The integral yields of $$^{123,124,125,126}$$I were deduced from the calculated excitation functions in the $$^{7}$$Li induced reactions on Sn isotopes in view of the production of medically important $$^{123,124}$$I. The results are discussed by comparing with literature values in the other reactions.

$$^{67}$$Cu produced by the $$^{68}$$Zn($$n,n'p+d$$)$$^{67}$$Cu reaction was used for the first time to determine the biodistribution of $$^{67}$$CuCl$$_{2}$$ in colorectal tumor-bearing mice. High uptake of $$^{67}$$Cu was observed in the tumor as well as in the liver and kidney which are the major organs for copper metabolism. The result showing $$^{67}$$Cu accumulation in the tumor suggests that $$^{67}$$CuCl$$_{2}$$ can be a potential radionuclide agent for cancer radiotherapy. It would also encourage further studies on the therapeutic effect in small animals using an increased dose of $$^{67}$$Cu produced by the $$^{68}$$Zn($$n,n'p+d$$)$$^{67}$$Cu reaction using intense neutrons available at present.

Production cross sections of astatine isotopes $$^{207-211}$$At in the 29-57 MeV $$^7$$Li induced reaction with $$^{nat}$$Pb target have been measured by $$alpha$$- and $$gamma$$-ray spectrometry. Excitation functions of production cross sections have been compared with a statistical model calculation to study the reaction mechanism of $$^7$$Li + $$^{nat}$$Pb. Considerably small experimental cross sections of $$^{210}$$At and $$^{209}$$At compared with the calculation were clearly observed at incident energies higher than 44 MeV, indicating that the effects of breakup reaction play a role. A chemical separation of astatine from an irradiated lead target has been studied with a dry-distillation method. A complementary way to produce astatine isotopes has been developed.

Technetium-99m ($$^{rm 99m}$$Tc) is used in radioactive medical diagonostic tests, for example as a radioactive tracer that medical equipment can detect in the human body. It is well suited to the role because it emits readily detectable 141 keV $$gamma$$ rays, and its half-life is 6.01 hours (meaning that about 94% of it decays to technetium-99 in 24 hours). There are at least 31 commonly used radiopharmaceuticals based on technetium-99m for imaging and functional studies of the brain, myocardium, thyroid, lungs, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, skeleton, blood, and tumors. Recent years, with the develop-ment of the Compton camera which can realize high position resolution, technetium isotopes emitting high energy $$gamma$$-rays are required. In this study, technetium-95m which emits some $$gamma$$ rays around 800 keV was produced by the $$^{95}$$Mo(p,n)$$^{rm 95m}$$Tc reaction.

As basic studies of bifunctional chelating agent for $$^{177}$$Lu-labeled antibodies, $$^{177}$$Lu complexation of DOTA and DTPA was investigated by the addition of competing metals, Ca(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II). From comparison of competing metals, the inhibition by competing metals on the $$^{177}$$Lu complexation was in the order of Ca(II) $$<$$ Fe(II) $$<$$ Zn(II) and Ca(II) $$<$$ Zn(II) $$<$$ Fe(II) as DOTA and DTPA, respectively. For comparison between DOTA and DTPA, the susceptibility to the inhibition on $$^{177}$$Lu complexation by all the three competing metals was DTPA $$<$$ DOTA. Therefore, it was found that DTPA is advantageous for $$^{177}$$Lu complexation compared with DOTA in the presence of Ca(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II), and that the elimination of Fe from $$^{177}$$Lu solution is especially effective because the $$^{177}$$Lu complexation of DTPA is highly inhibited by Fe(II).

$$^{99m}$$Tc for medical use can be separated by thermochromatography from a molten $$^{99}$$MoO$$_{3}$$ sample. Effect of moist oxygen gas on the $$^{99m}$$Tc release from molten $$^{99}$$MoO$$_{3}$$ samples was investigated using a $$^{99}$$Mo/$$^{99m}$$Tc generator. $$^{99}$$Mo was produced with $$^{100}$$Mo(n,2n)$$^{99}$$Mo. A new phenomenon has been observed: release rate, separation- and recovery-efficiencies of $$^{99m}$$Tc were higher in the moist oxygen gas than those in the dry oxygen gas. The present result is a significant progress towards the stable production of a high quality $$^{99m}$$Tc from a molten MoO$$_{3}$$ sample with high separation efficiency. The result would also give us a new insight into the interaction between the moist oxygen gas and the molten MoO$$_{3}$$.

In Japan, about 0.9 million diagnostic procedures are carried out using $$^{rm 99m}$$Tc, the daughter nuclide of $$^{99}$$Mo with a half-life of 66 h, separated from $$^{99}$$Mo; all $$^{99}$$Mo radioisotopes are imported. Most of $$^{99}$$Mo has been produced by the fission reaction of highly enriched $$^{235}$$U in research reactors in the world. However, a number of incidents of the reactors caused the shortage of $$^{99}$$Mo worldwide, which triggered widespread discussions on the reliable supply of $$^{99}$$Mo. We proposed a new route to produce a large quantity of high quality $$^{99}$$Mo using fast neutrons from an accelerator.

Radionuclide production

Hashimoto, Kazuyuki; Nagai, Yasuki

Comprehensive Biomedical Physics, Vol.8, p.219 - 227, 2014/00

https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-444-53632-7.00614-6

Radionuclides for medical use are produced in nuclear reactors and in accelerators. The thermal neutron fluxes in nuclear reactors are several orders of magnitude higher than those of other neutron sources, such as accelerator neutrons. Hence, nuclear reactors have been playing important roles in the production of large quantity of medical radionuclides with their half-lives longer than several days. In accelerators, medical radionuclides with their half-lives longer than several minutes are produced. Recent progresses in accelerator technology as well as targetry technology, however, could enable one to obtain high-flux bremsstrahlung and intense energetic accelerator neutrons, and thereby to study new routes to produce medical radionuclides.
